Campus or campus-type developments – Entrance to consider - KBCN1726

The main entrance to a campus, e.g. an education site, industrial or business park, can be used to determine the distance to amenities, if 80% or more of the buildings are within 1000m of this entrance. If the site has more than one main entrance, either entrance can be used for the calculation. Where less than 80% of the buildings are within 1000m of the campus' main entrance, the assessed building’s main entrance must be used to determine the distance to compliant nodes. This aims to encourage the location of public transport nodes inside or on the periphery of the campus.
